Why I hate Friday

[Lesley_Roberta]

Friday, it is the end of the work week a day everyone celebrates for that reason.

I wish I was looking forward to getting away from my f***** job though. I wish I had something to escape from.

I hate knowing everyone will be dressing up to go out, and me, I will not be going out anywhere.

I will not be dancing, no where to go dancing any way, but no way to survive the experience if there was.

No chance to get dressed up, so barely a reason to own a dress.

I hate that everyone will go partly silent on the internet during Saturday and Sunday, as they are busy 'relaxing' from the work week.

If only I had a way to make Saturday seem exciting.

If anyone is wondering, that is why I don't like Friday. Yippee it is Friday, the party I never get invited to.

I much prefer Tuesday.

All the feels... :/

I don't usually have fun on weekends either...I usually end up locked in my playstation 3 trying to avoid my dysphoria, trying to avoid thinking about all the ->-bleeped-<- I have to deal with in transitioning. My weekend is primarily about distraction, and hiding from my own thoughts.

My week is so stressful that i usually can't wait for the weekend to start. I wish i could go out with friends though, but my only friend lives a 1 hour drive away.

There are many Fridays I feel the same way. My work obligations give way to other responsibilities. I have a limited amount of time to be myself, and I don't go out as well given most of my close firends are married with kids or don't know I finally expressing my long repressed femininity. When I feel down or frustrated, I just remember one line (abridged) from V for Vendetta " Every inch but one, but in that inch we're free". The time I have is that inch, and I try to make the most of it, hoping one day it will be two, then three, and on.

Until July 4 of this year, I have spent the past 11 years doing Monday through Friday in Minneapolis-St Paul and 43-48 weekends working up around Detroit Lakes MN.  Yea, at most 18 days, total, per year not busting my buns or my brain.  I would have gladly given half of that to you.  I think you would have probably liked it.

Now, that I no longer need to be up North so much, I have no clue what to do.

Ended up getting called into work earlier. Yea.  In the past when this happened, it was after having driven 220 miles, get there, get started and then turn around, come back.

@Lesley. Are there not any bars or pubs that have live music & floor space to dance on the weekend in your town? I can understand about not getting dressed up as people in your place may not understand & you may be the only one that is looking to transition in your locale. I used to go to Toronto & be with my sisterhood friends in the Church Street Village, I just go occasionally in the warm weather, I got tired of fighting through all the traffic & crazy drivers. Takes almost an hour to get there in good traffic. My wife & I go to a local bar on Sat., night with live music for some dancing, but my wife doesn't like going out in public places with me dressed as a girl. People we see there don't know & probably won't understand so I have to go in male mode. Last Halloween I did go as a girl, I was alone as my wife was sick that night. The staff especially the female servers thought I was pretty & I danced a few times with one guy. You are not alone on not going out girly on Sat., nights, I do get frustrated some times. do you have some hobbies, interests were there may be some clubs, groups or social associations that you could join or activity on the weekend? Do you have friends in town?

It would be nice if something could happen socially for you on weekend or any time.
Be good to yourself.

Sometimes I would trade with you. For me its all about go go go on the weekends. Whether it's at some venue or in someone else's home non stop practicing or writing for hours on end, God what I wouldn't give to have the time to sit and watch a movie, drink a glass of wine and just sit back and close my eyes. Not to mention just to be alone sometimes. But at least I can dress like me though without repercussions and wouldn't trade that for the world.

In town we have the Armouries, ok if you like random country dances YUCK.

We have the York which was ok when I was 20, I haven't been 20 and single for a looooong time The place is just a loud location designed for single people to find a drunk partner to have sex with. Well that is how I remember it Been through it a couple of times over the years, and I felt utterly alien there. The music is also all foreign to me now.

There is a live band bar, but it's not meant for dancing.

I have some local friends, alas the only people I know with a car in town and inclined to go anywhere, are also new parents. It isn't easy for them to escape their bundle. The rest of my local friends well I am nooooooot sure they are ready to go dancing with me They're all single males and I am in most cases old enough to be mistaken as their parent hehe. Assuming they could cope with going out dancing with me at all hehe.

I like Thursday the best.

It doesn't bother me now the way I see people having fun on the weekends, but when I was a teenager and had a baby it was awful. I was so jealous and felt so left out. It was exhausting and really hard on my self esteem at the time.
